The Pyramids of the Americas Are Being Destroyed

Off the eastern coast of southern Brazil, archaeologists have discovered the oldest pyramids in the world, older than the ancient Egyptian pyramids by several centuries. Their research shows that these South American pyramids were much larger than the early pyramids of Egypt, with their height about 160 ft. and their base expanding to nearly 40 acres. The functions of the pyramids were the same, religious worship, but the building concept was quite different. While the Egyptian pyramids were made of stone, the Brazilian pyramids were made of endurable sea shells. The construction concepts were decidedly different as well. The Egyptian pyramids were built in one operational phase, while studies show the pyramids of the Americas seemed to have been built in many phases that lasted decades, or perhaps even centuries.

This reply from these Peruvian realtors, their contention that they were within their rights to do as they pleased to these ancient pyramids as the legal land owners, offends one’s sense of morality. What about the rights of stewardship and the right to preserve our ancient monumental past? We should be honoring the ancients and the sanctity of their holy sites. Realtors, land owners, road construction companies, and corporations shouldn’t be sacrificing these sacred treasures for their own self-serving ends. Henceforth, any detrimental actions like those noted in this article should be seen as an assault on a world level with swift retribution in the forms of great fines and prison terms.

What we need to protect, preserve, and promote our world antiquities from such callous, ignorant, and unforgivable actions is a world-recognized historical preservation force, a world council developed to preserve and protect all ancient sites. Endorsed by the United Nations, this preservation council would be an enforcement team — a Delta Force of preservation. Deployed by the United Nations on the offense for the defense of ancient history, strong arm tactics would be utilized, blocking all detrimental acts of destruction or harm to these ancient sites until local officials act to preserve and protect the site from threat. A world recognized council for the protection and preservation of the pyramids would consist of dedicated archaeologists, anthropologists, sociologists, museum curators, and, on the strong-arm side, a military unit to physically thwart any threats of harm to the sacred sites. When people refuse to listen and do the right thing, they must be forced to.
